Pros

Met some great people. The company is pretty big so it is a good experience in seeing how a big company gets things done. The Embedded Academy, through which I entered the company, was very interesting and expanded my embedded C knowledge. I had a lot to learn from this project.

Cons

After the Embedded Academy ended I was benched. Most of my Academy colleagues were in the same situation. The pay didn’t change, I was still having a part-time contract. This situation lasted for almost three months after which I quit because I was feeling I am not growing professionally anymore.

Pros

The people I came in with at Nexient. Boy do I miss Nexient.

Cons

NTT Data uses and loses its employees. The threat of layoffs is constant and there are soft layoffs happening on the bench at all times due to unreasonably strict bench policies that push people out. There is a very low amount of work because the sales team does a terrible job finding it. And what little work they do have they're shipping overseas.
